Qualifying stress direction from borehole shear sonic anisotropy

Copyright 2015 ARMA, American Rock Mechanics Association.A method is presented to qualify the maximum horizontal stress direction on basis of dipole shear sonic anisotropy in near-vertical wellbores. The proposed scheme follows a similar qualification standard to that used for stress observations on...
